Decreased expression of the long non-coding RNA HOXD-AS2 promotes gastric cancer progression by targeting HOXD8 and activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

Figure 3 Overexpression of HOXD-AS2 inhibits gastric cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro. A: Transwell assays were performed to detect the effect of HOXD-AS2 on the migration and invasion of SGC-7901 and SNU-1 cells. The results revealed that overexpression of HOXD-AS2 inhibited the migration and invasion of SGC-7901 and SNU-1 cells; B: Wound healing assay further showed that overexpression of HOXD-AS2 inhibited gastric cancer cell migration and invasion. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01. Data are shown as the mean ± SD. All the experiments were performed in triplicate.
